SAMPLE-BOX.

SPECIFICTION orming part of Letters Patent No. 329,658, dated November 3, 1885.

Application filed March 28, 1885. Serial No. 160,449. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, ABRAHAM LIEBER- rHAL, DANIEL H. LIEBERTHAL, and ELIAs H. LIEBERTHAL, of Iron Mountain, Menorninee county, Michigan, have invented a new and Improved Sample-Box, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of our invention is to provide a new and improved box for lace, edging, em-

Io broidery, Sto., which box is so constructed as to show a sample of the contents of the goods in the box on the cover, which sample is not a separate piece, but part of the'goods in the box.

The invention consists in a sample-box having an opening in its top and a partition provided with slots below the top, and of a slide between the top and partition.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both figures.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of our improved sample-box opened. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sect'ional elevation of the same closed.

The box-cover A, having a large opening, A', in its top, is provided with a horizontal partition, B, a short distance below the top, thus forming a compartment, O, between the top of the cover and the said partition. The cover A is provided with an end slot, D, through which a slide, E, can be passed into the compartment O, the said slide having a handle-piece, E', of tape or other material, on

3 5 its outer end. The partition B has transverse slots F F', one near each end. The lace G is placed in the box H, and one end, G', of the lace being passed through one slot, F, and pasted on the top of the partition B, and the 40 other end, G2, being passed through the other slot, F', and also resting on the top of the partition B. The slide E is pushed inward to cover the partition B and the ends of the lace on it.

To show asample of the contents of the box, it is only necessary to withdraw the slide E.

To removelace from the box, it is only necessary to withdraw the slide E a short distance, pull on the end G2 of the lace, and draw out the desired length of lace through opening A'.

The sample need not be cut off from the piece of laee, and the sample shown will always be clean, as the slide E covers it.

The box can be used for all kinds of embroidery, lace, edging, &c.

Having thus described our invention, we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. A box-cover having an opening in its top and a partition below the top, the said partition having two slots, substantially as herein shown and described.

2. The combination, with a box-cover having an opening in its top, of a partition a short distance below the top, and provided with two slots, and of a slide in the cover, substantially as herein shown and described.

3. The combination,with the cover A, having an opening, A', in its top, and an end slot, D, of the partition B, having slots FF'andthe slide E between the top and the partition B, substantially as herein shown and described.
